Well everything couldn't go wrong in just one year, and given the state of shock surrounding America's presidential elections, Manchester City and Belgium defender has treated us to a bit of normalcy - by getting injured again.
The centre-back was supposed to be in Roberto Martinez's squad to face Holland on Wednesday night, and was on the original team-sheet,but suffered yet another injury in training, to be replaced by Christian Kabasele.
